TECHNICAL FIELD

Embodiments relate to an electric pump and a motor.

BACKGROUND ART

In general, an electric oil pump (EOP) is a device that supplies oil to a hydraulic line of a transmission or a braking device of a vehicle using a motor, in which circulation of oil is necessary.

In the case of a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), an engine is stopped when the vehicle is stopped and thus it is difficult to supply a constant pressure to a transmission through a mechanical oil pump. Therefore, the HEV employs an electric oil pump that supplies oil through a motor.

Such an electric oil pump includes a suction port and a discharge port through which oil moves.

However, in an electric oil pump of the related art, a phenomenon occurs in which flow rate performance decreases sharply at a high flow rate and a flow rate is not uniform during the movement of a fluid.

A motor is a device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy to generate a turning force and has been widely used in vehicles, household appliances, industrial equipment, and the like.

The motor may include a housing, a shaft, a stator disposed on an inner circumferential surface of the housing, a rotor installed on an outer circumferential surface of the shaft, and the like. Here, the stator of the motor causes electrical interaction with the rotor to induce rotation of the rotor.

Here, the rotor may be classified into a surface-mounted permanent magnet (SPM) type and an interior permanent magnet (IPM) type according to a coupling structure of a magnet installed in the rotor core.

In an IPM type rotor, a magnet is inserted into a rotor core and thus magnetic flux density is lower than that of an SPM type rotor in which a magnet is exposed on a surface thereof, and therefore, dynamic characteristics of a motor having the IPM type rotor may be lower than those of a motor having the SPM type rotor.

In particular, when barriers are formed at both sides of the magnet in the IPM type rotor, an H-field indicating the magnitude of a magnetic flux is low at inner corners of the magnet. Accordingly, when a magnetization process is performed after assembly of the magnet, HS characteristics indicating the strength of a magnetic force may not be satisfied and thus full magnetization cannot be achieved. In addition, when the motor is operated at a high temperature, a risk of irreversible demagnetization may occur additionally.

When the H-field is increased to satisfy the HS characteristics of the magnet so as to solve the above problems, an overcurrent may be supplied and thus a magnetizer and a magnetization yoke may be degraded.

Therefore, there is a need for a rotor which achieves full saturated magnetization of a magnet only with a certain amount of current without applying an overcurrent.

The pump unit 400 is inserted into a space, to which a fluid is supplied, between the second cover 500 and the first cover 300 and pumps oil by receiving power from the motor unit 100. The first cover 300 and the second cover 500 are combined together to form a space in which the pump unit 400 is located. The first cover 300 and the second cover 500 are described separately according to functional characteristics but may be connected integrally to each other.

One side of the first cover 300 may be in contact with the connector unit 200 and the other side thereof may include a first side 310 for accommodating the pump unit 400.

The first side 310 may include the first suction port 320 and the first discharge port 330. The first suction port 320 and the first discharge port 330 may each have a conventional port shape.

The second cover 500 may include a second side 510 on which the pump unit 400 is disposed, and the second side 510 may include the second suction port 520 and the second discharge port 530. The second suction port 520 may include an inlet 521, which communicates with the second suction port 520 and through which oil is introduced, and an outlet 531 which communicates with the second discharge port 530.

The second suction port 520 and the second discharge port 530 may be formed in an arc shape and provided to be tapered from one side to the other side. In addition, the second suction port 520 and the second discharge port 530 may be arranged such that a wider portion of the second suction port 520 faces a wider portion of the second discharge port 530 and a narrower portion of the second suction port 520 faces a narrower portion of the second discharge port 530.

The second discharge port 530 may have a conventional port shape.

The second suction port 520 may include a third protrusion 523 protruding inward. The third protrusion 523 may protrude toward a space forming the second suction port 520 from an end of the second suction port 520 farther from the center of the first rotor 410 among ends of the second suction port 520.

The suction port and discharge port are formed respectively on the first cover 300 and the second cover 500 to guide a fluid to be smoothly suctioned and discharged by the pump unit 400. These suction port and discharge ports are arranged by partitioning a space. This is to prevent movement of the fluid due to a pressure difference.

Referring to FIG. 13, the pump unit 400 is disposed between the first cover 300 and the second cover 500 and pumps a fluid by receiving power from the motor unit 100. The pump unit 400 may include the first rotor 410 and the second rotor 120. The first rotor 410 may be referred to as an inner rotor 120 and the second rotor 430 may be referred to as an outer rotor 120.

A turning force is directly applied to the first rotor 410 from the motor unit 100 because the shaft 110 is coupled to a central portion of the first rotor 410. In one embodiment, the shaft 110 includes at least one cut surface 111 and may be inserted into a third coupling hole 440 formed in the center of the first rotor 410. The third coupling hole 440 may match in shape with the shaft 110 to which the third coupling hole 440 is inserted, thereby preventing the first rotor 410 from running idle during rotation of the shaft 110.

The second rotor 430 is disposed outside the first rotor 410. In addition, in the first rotor 410, a first lobe 411 with N gear teeth facing outward in a radial direction with respect to the center of rotation may be provided in a circumferential direction. The second rotor 430 may be provided with N+1 second lobes 431 facing inward in the radial direction. In this case, the second lobe 431 may be disposed to be caught by the first lobe 411. As the first rotor 410 rotates, the second rotor 430 rotates in connection with the first rotor 410.

Meanwhile, a diameter of a dedendum circle C1 of the first rotor 410 (hereinafter referred to as “D1”) and a diameter of a dedendum circle C2 of the second rotor 430 (hereinafter referred to as “D2”) are criteria for forming a space for pumping oil.

In the present invention, oil may be stably supplied in high-speed regions by changing the shape of a suction port.

FIG. 14 illustrates a contact structure between the first suction port 320 and the first discharge port 330 which are formed on the first cover 300, similarly to a structure of the related art.

However, when the first cover 300 and the second cover 500 are combined together, the first suction port 320 and the second suction port 520 face each other and the first discharge port 330 and the second discharge port 530 face each other. In this case, the first suction port 320 and the second suction port 520 may be arranged in different shapes.

Referring to FIG. 15, the first rotor 410 and the second rotor 430 may be disposed such that the centers thereof do not coincide with each other. When a center P1 of the first rotor 410 and a center P2 of the second rotor 430 are projected onto the second cover 500, an angle formed by a first line L1 connecting the center P1 of the first rotor 410 and the center P2 of the second rotor 430 and a second line L2 connecting the center P1 of the first rotor 410 and an end of the third protrusion 523 may be inversely proportional to the number of gear teeth. A flow rate and velocity of a fluid to be introduced may be determined by an arrangement position of the third protrusion 523.

In one embodiment, an angle θ formed by the first line L1 and the second line L2 may be calculated by Equation 1 below.

$\begin{matrix} {\theta = \frac{360\mspace{14mu} W}{N*2}} & \left\lbrack {{Equation}\mspace{14mu} 1} \right\rbrack \end{matrix}$

Here, N represents the number of gear teeth formed on the first rotor 410.

The position of the end of the third protrusion 523 may be determined according to the angle θ formed by the first line L1 and the second line L2.

In one embodiment, when the first rotor 410 includes five gear teeth as illustrated in FIG. 13, θ may be set to 36 degrees.

In this case, θ may be changed within a range of 5%.

A third line L3 connecting ends of the second suction port 520 in a region adjacent to the third protrusion 523 may be parallel to the first line L1. Two recessed regions are formed at ends of the second suction port 520 due to the third protrusion 523 formed inside the second suction port 520, and the third line L3 connects innermost sides of the two recessed regions.

In addition, when the first line L1 and the third line L3 are parallel to each other, a distance d2 between the first line L1 and the third line L3 is proportional to a distance between the center P1 of the first rotor 410 and the center P2 of the second rotor 430.

In one embodiment, the distance d2 between the first line L1 and the third line L3 may be calculated by Equation 2 below.

e*1.25<d2<e*1.35  [Equation 2]

Here, e represents the distance between the center P1 of the first rotor 410 and the center P2 of the second rotor 430.

Therefore, the arrangement position of the third protrusion 523 of the second suction port 520 may be determined by the number N of gear teeth of the first rotor 410 and a distance e between the center P1 of the first rotor 410 and the center P2 of the second rotor 430.

FIG. 16 is a diagram showing a change in flow rate performance when the shape of the second cover of FIG. 15 is applied.

Referring to FIG. 16, in the related art, an increase in flow rate decreased when the speed of rotation was 4000 rpm or more and decreased greatly when the speed of rotation exceeded 5000 rpm.

However, when the shape of the second cover 500 according to an embodiment of the present invention was applied, a constant flow rate increase was secured even when the speed of rotation exceeded 4000 rpm and was continuously maintained even when the speed of rotation exceeded 5000 rpm.

FIG. 17 is a longitudinal sectional view of a motor according to the embodiment. FIG. 18 is a cross sectional view taken along line A-A of FIG. 17.

Referring to FIGS. 17 and 18, a motor 1001 according to an embodiment may include a housing 1100, a bracket 1200, a rotor 1300, a stator 1400, and a shaft 1500. Here, the bracket 1200 may be disposed to cover an open upper portion of the housing 1100.

The housing 1100 and the bracket 1200 may form an exterior of the motor 1001. Here, the housing 1100 may be formed in a cylindrical shape having an opening thereon.

Therefore, an accommodation space may be formed in the motor 1101 due to coupling of the housing 1100 and the bracket 1200. As illustrated in FIG. 17, the rotor 1300, the stator 1400, the shaft 1500, and the like may be disposed in the accommodation space.

The housing 1100 may be formed in a cylindrical shape so that the stator 1400 may be supported on an inner circumferential surface of the housing 1100. A pocket portion for accommodation of a bearing 1060 supporting a lower portion of the shaft 1500 may be provided at the bottom of the housing 1100.

The bracket 1200 disposed on the top of the housing 1100 may also be provided with a pocket portion for supporting an upper portion of the shaft 1500. The bracket 1200 may include a hole or a groove into which a connector, to which an external cable is connected, is inserted.

The rotor 1300 is disposed inside the stator 1400. Here, an inner side with respect to a radial direction (a y-axis direction) refers to a direction toward a center CC with respect to the center CC, and an outer side refers to a direction opposite that of the inner side. The center CC is the center of rotation of the shaft 1500 and may be a center CC of the rotor 1300.

The rotor 1300 may include a rotor core 1310 and a magnet 1320.

Here, the rotor 1300 may be an interior permanent magnet (IPM) type rotor in which the magnet 1320 is coupled to the inside of the rotor core 1310. Accordingly, the rotor 1300 may include a pocket into which the magnet 1320 is inserted.

FIG. 19 is a diagram illustrating a rotor core of a motor according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 19, a rotor core 1310 may include a main body 1311, a pocket 1312, a first barrier 1313, a second barrier 1314, and a hole 1315.

The main body 1311 forms an exterior of the rotor core 1310.

Here, the main body 1311 may be formed by stacking a plurality of thin steel plates together.

A magnet 1320 is disposed in the pocket 1312.

As illustrated in FIG. 19, a plurality of pockets 1312 may be formed to be spaced apart from each other in a circumferential direction with respect to a center CC of the rotor core 1310. Accordingly, magnets 1320 may be disposed in the circumferential direction with respect to the center CC of the rotor core 1310. In this case, the magnets 1320 may be inserted into the pockets 1312.

The first barrier 1313 may extend from both sides of the pocket 1312. As illustrated in FIG. 18, when the magnets 1320 are disposed in the pockets 1312, the first barriers 1313 may be disposed at both sides of the magnets 1320.

An air layer may be formed on the first barrier 1313. Accordingly, the first barrier 1313 serves as a flux barrier to prevent a short circuit and a leakage of magnetic flux.

However, when only the first barrier 1313 is disposed on the main body 1311 without the second barrier 1314, the magnet 1320 may not be fully magnetized when the magnet 1320 is magnetized using only a certain amount of a current. Here, the magnetization refers to applying, to a magnet, an external magnetic field about 3 to 4 times a coercive force of the magnet. In this case, a high current is used to generate the external magnetic field. In particular, when the magnet is an NdFeB-based rare earth magnet, a peak value of a magnetizing field is determined by saturation magnetic flux density.

When a certain current is applied, the second barrier 1314 adjusts magnetic flux saturation of the main body 1311 so that a maximum H field may be present in the magnet 1320. Accordingly, the magnet 1320 may be fully magnetized.

FIG. 20 is a diagram illustrating region B of FIG. 18, and the region B is part of the rotor 1300.

Referring to FIGS. 18 and 20, a plurality of second barriers 1314 may be arranged in the circumferential direction. For example, two second barriers 1314 may be arranged adjacent to one magnet 1320. Here, the arrangement of the two second barriers 1314 adjacent to one magnet 1320 may be understood to mean that the second barriers 1314 are arranged such that outer circumferential surfaces thereof are spaced a certain distance from the magnet 1320.

The second barriers 1314 may be formed between an inner circumferential surface 311 a and an outer circumferential surface 311 b of the main body 1311. As illustrated in FIG. 20, the second barriers 1314 may be formed between the inner circumferential surface 311 a of the main body 1311 and an inner side 321 of the magnet 1320.

The second barrier 1314 may be formed to have a circular cross section having a certain radius R. That is, a size of the second barrier 1314 may be defined by the radius R. Here, an example in which the second barrier 1314 has a circular cross section has been described above but embodiments are not limited thereto. As illustrated in FIG. 21, the second barrier 1314 may be provided as a polygonal shape, such as a hemispherical shape, an ellipse shape, a tetragonal shape or a hexagonal shape, or a bent tetragonal shape in consideration of an arrangement position of the second barrier 1314.

The second barriers 1314 may be disposed to be symmetric to each other with respect to a first line L11. As illustrated in FIG. 20, two second barriers 1314 disposed to correspond to one magnet 1320 may be symmetric to each other with respect to the first line L11. Here, the first line L11 is a line passing through the center CC of the main body 1311 and the center of a width W of the magnet.

The arrangement position of the second barrier 1314 may be defined by an arrangement angle θ and an arrangement distance D33 from the center CC of the rotor core 1310.

A center C11 of the second barrier 1314 may have a certain arrangement angle θ with respect to the first line L11 in the circumferential direction. For example, the arrangement angle θ may be an angle formed by the first line L11 and a second line L22 passing through the center CC of the main body 1311 and the center C11 of the second barrier 1314. In this case, an included angle between the first line L11 and the second line L22 is an angle with respect to the center CC.

In this case, the inner side 1321 of the magnet 1320 may be disposed on the second line L22 passing through the center CC of the main body 1311 and the center C11 of the second barrier 1314. As illustrated in FIG. 20, one point P1 on the outer circumferential surface of the second barrier 1314 and one point P2 on the inner side 321 of the magnet 1320 may be disposed on the second line L22.

The arrangement angle θ may be calculated by Equation 3 below.

$\begin{matrix} {{\arctan\left( \frac{W/2}{D11} \right)} \leq \theta \leq {\arctan\left( \frac{W/2}{D22} \right)}} & \left\lbrack {{Equation}\mspace{14mu} 3} \right\rbrack \end{matrix}$

As illustrated in FIG. 20, W represents a width of a magnet, D11 represents the distance from the center of a main body to an inner side surface of the magnet, and D22 represents the distance from the center of the main body to an outer side surface of the magnet.

For example, when the rotor 1300, which is an IPM type, is designed, the arrangement angle θ is less than 25.3 degrees and greater than 20.7 degrees when W is 9.8 mm, D11 is 10.375 mm, and D22 is 12.95 mm. Accordingly, the arrangement angle θ of the second barrier 1314 may be designed to be an angle between 20.7 degrees and 25.3 degrees.

The arrangement distance D33 may be calculated by Equation 4 below. Here, the arrangement distance D33 is a distance from the center CC of the main body 1311 to the center of the second barrier 1314.

$\begin{matrix} {{D33} = {\frac{D11}{cos\theta} - O - R}} & \left\lbrack {{Equation}\mspace{14mu} 4} \right\rbrack \end{matrix}$

As illustrated in FIG. 20, O represents the distance between one point P1 on the outer circumferential surface of the second barrier 1314 and one point P2 on the inner side 321 of the magnet 1320, which are located on the second line L22.

As described above, when the arrangement angle θ is set to 22 degrees to be within a range of the arrangement angle θ, R is set to 0.5 mm, and O is set to 0.2 mm, which are design parameters, the arrangement distance D33 is determined to be 10.5 mm according to Equation 4 above.

Therefore, the arrangement position of the second barrier 1314 is determined by the placement angle θ of 22 degrees and the placement distance D33 of 10.5 mm.

When the arrangement angle θ is set to 21.5 degrees to be within the range of the arrangement angle θ and design parameters R and O are respectively set to 1.0 mm and 0.4 mm, the arrangement distance D33 is determined to be 9.75 mm according to Equation 4 above.

Therefore, the arrangement position of the second barrier 1314 is determined by the placement angle θ of 21.5 degrees and the placement distance D33 of 9.75 mm.

The second barrier 1314 may be formed to be long from an upper end of the main body 1311 to a lower end of the main body 1311. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and a length of the second barrier 1314 in an axial direction (an x-axis direction) may be the same as a length of the magnet 1320 in the axial direction (the x-axis direction). Here, an air layer may be formed on the second barrier 1314.

The hole 1315 may be formed in a central portion of the body 315. Accordingly, the shaft 1500 may be coupled to the hole 1315.

The magnet 1320 may be provided in the form of a tetragonal pillar extending from the upper end of the rotor core 1310 to the lower end of the rotor core 1310. An example in which six magnets 1320 are disposed in the motor 1001 has been described above, but the embodiments are not limited thereto.

In this case, the magnitude of an external magnetic field required to magnetize the magnets 1320 varies according to energy density, coercive force, saturation magnetic flux density, etc. of a material of the magnets 1320.

FIG. 22 is a diagram showing a comparison of an H field with respect to a rotor of a motor according to an example with an H field with respect to a rotor of a motor according to a comparative example. FIG. 22A is a diagram illustrating the H field of the motor according to the example, and FIG. 22B is a diagram illustrating the H field of the motor according to the comparative example. Here, a motor 1002 provided as the comparative example is different from the motor 1001 in terms of the presence of and an arrangement position of the second barrier 314.

Referring to FIG. 22, when a magnetization peak current of 10.26 kA is supplied to the motor 1001 and the motor 1002 of the comparative example, an H field of the magnet 1320 of the motor 1001 is 1.8734*10{circumflex over (6)} A/m and an H field of the motor 1002 of the comparative example is 1.6465*10{circumflex over (6)} A/m. In this case, the radius R of the second barrier 1314 is 1.0 mm.

That is, in the case of the motor 1001, a magnitude of the H field is increased by about 13.8% due to the second barrier 1314. Accordingly, a magnetizing current of the motor 1001 may be reduced from 10.26 kA to 8.84 kA. That is, the motor 1002 of the comparative example to which 10.26 kA is applied and the motor 1001 to which 8.84 kA is applied have the same magnetization performance.

Therefore, the lowest H field of the motor 1001 with the second barrier 1314 increases and thus magnetization power of the motor 1001 is improved compared to the motor 1002 of the comparative example. In addition, a local non-magnetized region of the magnet 1320 decreases.

Meanwhile, the H field may be adjusted by the radius R of the second barrier 1314. That is, as the radius R of the second barrier 1314 is adjusted, the arrangement distance D3 is adjusted and thus a magnetization performance difference occurs.

When the radius R of the second barrier 1314 is adjusted to 0.5 mm and a magnetizing peak current of 10.26 kA is supplied to the motor 1001 and the motor 1002 of the comparative example, an H field of the magnet 1320 of the motor 1001 is 1.8288*10{circumflex over (6)} A/m and an H field of the motor 1002 of the comparative example is 1.6465*10{circumflex over (6)} A/m.

That is, in the case of the motor 1001, the magnitude of the H field is improved by about 11.1% due to the second barrier 1314.

Accordingly, the second barrier 1314 of the motor 1001 may increase the magnitude of a magnetization field in the magnet 1320, thereby increasing a magnetization feature of the magnet 1320. In addition, the arrangement distance D3 is adjusted by the radius R of the second barrier 1314.

FIG. 23 is a diagram showing a comparison of a uniform magnetic flux line of a rotor of a motor according to an example with a uniform magnetic flux line of a rotor of a motor according to a comparative example. FIG. 23A is a diagram illustrating the uniform magnetic flux line of the motor of the example, and FIG. 23B is a diagram illustrating the uniform magnetic flux line of the motor of the comparative example.

Referring to FIG. 23, a second barrier 1314 of a motor 1001 causes a change in magnetic resistance to change a magnetic flux path. In particular, the second barrier 1314 with an air layer has low permeability and thus a magnetic flux path in the rotor core 1310 may be greatly changed. Accordingly, a magnetic flux is concentrated at an inner edge of the magnet 1320 and thus the motor 1001 has a higher magnetic flux density distribution than the motor 1002 of the comparative example.

FIG. 24 is a diagram showing a comparison of magnetic flux density of a rotor of a motor according to an example with magnetic flux density of a rotor of a motor according to a comparative example. FIG. 24A is a diagram illustrating an H field of the motor of the example, and FIG. 24B is a diagram illustrating an H field of the motor of comparative example.

Referring to FIG. 24, the lowest magnetic flux density of the motor 1001 is higher than that of the motor 1002 of the comparative example. Accordingly, a magnitude of an external magnetic field applied to an inner corner of the magnet 1320 increases.

The stator 1400 may be supported by the inner circumferential surface of the housing 1100. The stator 1400 is disposed outside the rotor 1300. That is, the rotor 1300 may be disposed on an inner side of the stator 1400.

Referring to FIGS. 17 and 18, the stator 1400 may include a stator core 1410 and a coil 1420. Here, the stator core 1410 may be formed by stacking a plurality of thin steel plates together. Alternatively, the stator core 1410 may be formed by coupling or connecting a plurality of split cores to each other.

The stator core 1410 may include a yoke 1411 and teeth 1412.

The yoke 1411 may be formed in a cylindrical shape.

The teeth 1412 may be disposed to protrude from the yoke 1411 toward the center CC. As illustrated in FIG. 20, the teeth 1412 may be disposed at regular intervals along an inner circumferential surface of the yoke 1411 to protrude toward the center CC. That is, the teeth 1412 may be disposed along the inner circumferential surface of the yoke 1411 to be spaced a certain distance from each other.

A coil 1420 may be wound around the teeth 1412. In this case, an insulator 1430 may be disposed on the tooth 1412. The insulator 1430 insulates the teeth 1412 and the coil 1420 from each other.

A current may be applied to the coil 1420. Accordingly, electrical interaction with the magnet 1320 of the rotor 1300 may be caused to rotate the rotor 1300. When the rotor 1300 rotates, the shaft 1500 also rotates. In this case, the shaft 1500 may be supported by the bearing 1060.

The shaft 1500 may be coupled to the rotor 1300. When electromagnetic interaction occurs between the rotor 1300 and the stator 1400 through the supply of current, the rotor 1300 rotates and the rotation shaft 1500 rotates in association with the rotor 1300.

Meanwhile, the motor 1001 may further include a sensing magnet assembly 1600 to identify the position of the rotor 1300.

The sensing magnet assembly 1600 may include a sensing magnet and a sensing plate. The sensing magnet and the sensing plate can be combined to have the same axis.

The sensing magnet may include a main magnet disposed in a circumferential direction to be adjacent to a hole forming an inner circumferential surface thereof, and a sub-magnet formed at an edge thereof. The main magnet may be arranged in the same manner as a drive magnet inserted into the rotor 1300 of the motor 1001. The sub-magnet is subdivided to have a larger number of poles than the main magnet. Therefore, a rotation angle may be more subdivided and measured, and the motor 1001 may be more smoothly driven.

The sensing plate may be formed of a disc type metal material. An upper side of the sensing plate may be coupled to the sensing magnet. In addition, the sensing plate may be coupled to the shaft 1500. Here, the sensing plate is provided with a hole through which the shaft 1500 passes.

In addition, the motor 1001 may further include a printed circuit board 1700 on which a sensor is disposed to sense a magnetic force of the sensing magnet.

In this case, the sensor may be a Hall IC. The sensor senses a change of N and S poles of the main magnet or the sub-magnet to generate a sensing signal. In the case of a three-phase brushless motor, at least three sensing signals are required to obtain information about U-, V-, and W-phases and thus at least three sensors may be arranged.

The printed circuit board 1700 may be coupled to a bottom surface of the bracket 1200 and installed on the sensing magnet assembly 1600 such that the sensor faces the sensing magnet.
